Education Programs
Hunter Education
The hunter education course instills in students the knowledge and skill
to be a responsible and safe hunter. The basic course consists of 10
lessons during a minimum of 10 hours. Students learn how hunting
accidents are caused and how they can be prevented. Hunter
responsibility and safety are stressed throughout the classes, which
consist of lectures, demonstrations, group discussions, practical
exercises, and individual study and activity assignments.

regarding requirements:

A class is scheduled for April 23-28, 2012. Contact Chris Spaight at 715-463-2900 for more information.
ATV Safety
Riding an all-terrain vehicle can be a very exciting, exhilarating experience but in the hands of an untrained operator an ATV can also be very dangerous to operate. ATV's handle very differently than other vehicles. Accidents happen very fast, even during routine exercises like turning, riding over obstacles, or riding on hills.
The purpose of the Wisconsin ATV Safety Training program is to promote responsible, safe and ethical ATV use. By participating in the program students will obtain a better understanding of their obligations to the resources, the landowner, other ATV users and to themselves.

Snow Safety
More than 200,000 registered snowmobiles will hit Wisconsin's 25,000
miles of groomed trails this winter, making safety an important part of
the ride. Ride Smart From the Start - Take A Snowmobile Safety Course!

Trapper Education
The future of furbearer trapping in Wisconsin is secured through an
educated public that understands the need for and value in wildlife
management. This is accomplished through trained trappers familiar with
modern and humane methods of animal restraint, as well as the proper
handling of furbearers. The mandatory WCTEP program brings experienced
and skilled trappers, trained and apprenticed in the trapper education
program, into the classroom where they can share their knowledge and
understanding with those interested.
Wisconsin's Cooperative Trapper Education Program is administered
jointly by the Wisconsin Trappers Association (WTA) and the DNR. The WTA
is affiliated with the National Trappers Association.
